Let’s learn how to setup virtual host in apache (on Ubuntu) – most of what am going to show you will apply to other versions of Ubuntu below 14.*. and so if you need to configure your own local virtual host on Ubuntu, you can simply follow this tutorial. I will make this as simple as possible; after all, permissions and configurations can really screw your Ubuntu installation faster than you can blink – especially when you are not an Ubuntu expert. Let us do it.

“Adb not responding. you can wait more or kill adb process manually and click ‘restart'” – this is the error message I got after installing Intellij 13 and a clean Ubuntu 13 on my machine. I used to run Windows 8 but I decided to switch everything to Linux. I looked everywhere – and saying I was annoyed is an understatement. To worsen things, I am a little under the weather today (sick). Anyway, I eventually was able to fix this problem after hours and hours of trying. This is how I felt when I couldn’t find the solution:

“Your System running in low graphics mode.” Yeah, you have been served son! Today was one of those dark days for me. I was feeling tired after a few hours on the computer configuring some stuff – particularly LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl) tools. I did this because I am planning to create some APIs for a project! So, I just let my laptop go to sleep and when I came back it was OFF. What the heck? I asked myself and tried turning it ON to the shock of my eyes. This is what surprised me;

A Windows – Linux switch can be both exciting and scary to say the least. At my new (awesome) job, everybody uses Linux (Ubuntu) and I arrived there as a Windows guy only to learn that I was the only black sheep in the family. So, instead of being lethargic, I called on the gods of the universe to help me make the once-seemingly-inevitable transition. Today, am happy to announce that I have officially made a Windows to Linux change. The rest of this post will detail the process! Enjoy it!
